Dr. Bock:
When I was 15, I trusted Christ as Savior. My ONLY reason was to avoid hell. It has taken quite awhile for me to really realize that I was wrong in my motives to embrace Him. Though He was gracious in accepting me, inspite of my wrong understanding at the time, it has taken a beating in my Christian life ... I was self-oriented even as a Christian. Relating to God as a child was very difficult for me to fathom. (Perhaps my poor relationship with my father contributed to that as well). For me, I was content on my way to Heaven that I really didn't take my relationship with God that seriously, I admit.
Thank you for reminding me once again about the preciousness of the Gospel.
